The Khuni Darwaza is one of the gates built by Emperor Sher Shah Shuri in his city Shergarh . The three princes of the Mughal dynasty - Bahadur Shah Zafar's sons Mirza Mughal and Kizr Sultan and grandson Abu Bakr, were shot by William Hodson on September 22, 1857 during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The blood kept dripping from the ceiling of the Gate and led to it being called the Khuni Darwaza.
